Step By Step

Falafel Burgers

I love burgers, but sometimes I want a vegetarian option.

I have explored many veggie burger varieties, but haven't found one I like. This falafel burger, on the other hand, is pretty fantastic and feels like you are eating a burger. The chickpeas have a meaty quality to them and are packed with protein too!

First, make a quick tzatziki with yogurt, cucumbers, parsley, garlic, and vinegar.

I like to mash up the chickpeas instead of using a food processor so they retain some texture.

This is my desired final texture.

Mix-ins.

A quick shallow fry and they are ready to go!

Nice thick patties have the perfect mixture of crunch and creaminess as you bite into them.
